Vampire Weekend Cover UK Pop Star Cheryl Cole

Earlier today, Vampire Weekend stopped by BBC Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton's show for a chat. They played their current UK single "Run" and a cover of UK pop star/former member of Girls Aloud/"X Factor" judge Cheryl Cole's 2009 single "Fight for This Love".

Talking about why they chose to cover the song, Ezra Koenig said, "One day we were in the car driving to the airport and we heard a song that reminded us of K-Ci & JoJo's 'All My Life', which is a very important song for people our age. We were like, 'This song is awesome.'" They also talked about meeting Cee-Lo and how they're planning to start a new record next year.

Listen to the cover over at Abeano, check out the whole radio appearance at the BBC (it starts around the 1:41:00 mark) and watch the video for the original "Fight for This Love" below:
